ginormous

It's official: Merriam-Webster is putting 'ginormous' in the dictionary.
Quote:

But Merriam-Webster traces ginormous back to 1948, when it appeared in a British dictionary of military slang. And in the past several years, its use has become, well, ginormous.

Visitors to the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's Web site picked "ginormous" as their favorite word that's not in the dictionary in 2005, and Merriam-Webster editors have spotted it in countless newspaper and magazine articles since 2000.

That's essentially the criteria for making it into the collegiate dictionary - if a word shows up often enough in mainstream writing, the editors consider defining it.

But as editor Jim Lowe puts it: "Nobody has to use 'ginormous' if they don't want to."

For the record, he doesn't.

I knew this had to be out there somewhere: a Sylar/"re: your brains" video. (Warning: umm, brains.)

Update #1: I'm glad it exists, because if it didn't, I might have to make it myself, and I'd rather not.
Update #2: This, however, I didn't expect. But should have.
